One campaign that reaches contacts everywhere

Reach contacts through SMS, email, or both with a single campaign. Define your message once, deliver across channels, and track performance in unified reports.

Cross-channel campaigns

One campaign, every channel

Multisend lets you define a message once and deliver it through the best channel for each contact. Contacts with phone numbers get SMS; those without get email. Or send both for maximum reach. Analytics unify performance across channels. Your message adapts to reach each person through the channel that works.

Capabilities

Cross-channel campaign delivery

Channel prioritization illustration

Different messages suit different channels. Urgent alerts need the immediacy of SMS while detailed content needs the space that email provides. Manually coordinating which contacts get which channel adds complexity and creates room for errors.

Set rules for which channel to use first based on message urgency and content type. Send SMS for urgent messages, email for longer content, or both for critical communications. Channels routes automatically based on contact data availability: contacts with phone numbers receive SMS, those without get email. The right channel reaches each person automatically based on your rules.

Fallback logic illustration

Messages fail for various reasons: invalid phone numbers, full inboxes, carrier issues, or missing contact data. A failed delivery should not mean a missed communication. Critical messages need a backup path to reach their recipients.

If a message fails on one channel, Multisend automatically retries on another. Undelivered SMS triggers an email fallback. Bounced emails retry via SMS if a mobile number exists. You define the fallback rules, and messages find a way through to your contacts.

Creating separate campaigns for SMS and email means duplicating personalization work. Variables defined in one place should work in both. Maintaining consistency across channels adds overhead that slows campaign execution.

Contact fields pull contact data from People and work across all channels. Define variables once, and they populate in both SMS and email versions automatically. One definition, multiple outputs. Personalization stays consistent regardless of delivery channel.

Single audience selection illustration

Coordinating audience selection across channel-specific tools risks inconsistency. Some contacts get both channels, some get neither, some get duplicates. Syncing lists between systems introduces delays and errors.

Choose a group or segment in People once so that Multisend can route to the appropriate channels based on contact data such as phone number presence and email validity. Audience selection happens once, and routing happens automatically.

Separate reporting for SMS and email means manually combining metrics to understand campaign performance. Comparison requires spreadsheet work, and by the time you finish, the data is stale. Understanding what worked requires too much effort.

See delivery rates, open rates, click rates, and response rates aggregated across SMS and email, plus breakdowns by channel. Compare which channel performed better for specific audience segments. Performance data appears in one unified view with drill-down capabilities.

Contacts span time zones. A 9 AM send in Accra arrives at 4 AM in New York, before recipients are awake. Scheduling for each time zone separately is impractical, and sending at a single time means some contacts receive messages at suboptimal moments.

Schedule Multisend campaigns for optimal delivery times. Time zone awareness sends at the right local time for each contact based on location data in Delalify People allowing your team to send messages at the best time for each recipient. Quiet hours enforcement prevents early morning or late night delivery. Timing optimizes automatically.

Note: Timezone awareness is not only restricted to Multisend. You can enable timezone awareness for all messages in Delalify Channels.

Why it matters

Reach everyone, everywhere

Maximize reach

Contacts receive your message through whatever channel reaches them best. SMS for those with phone numbers, email for others, or both for critical communications. Your message finds a way through regardless of contact data completeness.

Simplify campaign creation

Build one campaign instead of coordinating separate SMS and email sends. Define your message once, select your audience once, and let Multisend handle the routing logic that would otherwise require duplicate effort.

Compare channel effectiveness

Unified reporting shows which channel performs better for different audiences and message types. Data-driven decisions replace hunches about where to invest your communication resources.

Automatic fallback

If a message fails on one channel, Multisend retries on another automatically. Undelivered SMS triggers an email fallback, so temporary carrier issues do not mean missed communications.

Use cases

See Multisend in action

Event organizer sending last-minute updates

The venue notifies the organizer of a room change 3 hours before the event starts. The organizer creates a Multisend campaign targeting the attendee group in People. Contacts with mobile numbers receive SMS immediately; international contacts without mobile get email. The message includes the new room number, floor map link, and contact phone for questions. Multisend tracks delivery across both channels in one report, showing which attendees received the update.

Result

Notification reaches 99% of attendees within 2 hours despite varying contact data quality. The organizer identifies undelivered contacts and calls them directly, preventing confusion at check-in.

Membership organization sending renewal reminders

The membership team schedules a Multisend sequence based on expiration dates stored in contact profiles within People. Thirty days before expiration, members receive email with benefits summary and renewal link. Fifteen days before, a follow-up email highlights upcoming events they will miss. Seven days before, SMS delivers an urgent reminder with a direct renewal link. Messages sent to each channel include personalized membership tier and pricing.

Result

Renewal rate increases 12% because members receive reminders in channels they check. Late payments drop 45% because the escalating urgency across channels motivates timely action.

School district notifying parents

A winter storm forces school closures at 5 AM. Administration creates a Multisend campaign targeting all parent contacts in People, sending both SMS and email to maximize visibility. Messages include closure details, childcare resource links, and instructions for accessing online learning. Parents without mobile numbers on file receive email only. The district tracks delivery and acknowledgment rates across both channels in one dashboard.

Result

Acknowledgment rate reaches 94% within 30 minutes, up from 68% with email only. Parent complaints about missed notifications drop to near zero because redundant channels ensure delivery.

Logistics company updating delivery status

The dispatch team configures Multisend to send delivery windows based on recipient type stored in People. Business recipients receive email with detailed documentation: proof of delivery requirements, dock specifications, and invoice attachments. Residential recipients receive SMS with a simplified tracking link and estimated arrival window. Both channels include the driver's direct contact number for last-minute coordination.

Result

Missed deliveries drop 35% because recipients receive notifications in the channel that fits their workflow. Customer service calls about delivery status decrease 52% because proactive updates answer questions before they are asked.

Financial advisor communicating with clients

The advisor segments clients by portfolio value using groups in People and configures quarterly Multisend campaigns accordingly. High-net-worth clients receive detailed email reports with personalized commentary, attached statements, and meeting scheduling links. Standard clients receive SMS summaries with performance highlights and links to full reports in their client portal. Both messages pull current portfolio values and year-to-date returns from contact records.

Result

Client engagement increases 38% because communication matches each relationship tier. High-value clients feel personally attended while the advisor serves a larger client base without proportionally more effort.
